Igniter compatible (1 Viewer)

[jtallequipment]

I recently purchased a US spec 83 FJ40 (de-smogged)
It was running when I picked it up. Currently is a no start situation. In trouble shooting, I have replaced wires, cap, rotor, battery- all were old and needing replacement anyway. Truck cranks strong, power to coil but no spark. I’m thinking it could be coil or igniter. I want to be sure before buying a used assembly as they are pretty expensive (like that’s a new thing owning an FJ40)

A member offered to send me an igniter to test. It’s a 19070-61060 mine is a 19070-61070 does anyone know if they are compatible.
Thanks
jim

That's a very informative and helpful collection of information put together by FJ40JIM and Numby, especially on the compatibility of the various Ignitors. I did not know it existed. Thanks Germaneighter !

Thanks again based on this info appears all 78 to 87 igniters are interchangeable

It will be the same igniter as a FJ60 US

There are test procedures in the FSM for igniter and coil

Common problem for those coils is a bad ground. They ground through the bracket to the fender.

Thanks I think I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow

Thanks I think I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow

Guess who has a running fj40

Traced multiple wires
Removed coil and ignitor

Tightened connections

And bam it started

Not sure what fixed it but there was definitely some poor connections

Thanks for everyone's help

Buy a Pertronix pickup and coil and forget about it for the next 25 years
